Trevian Capital – Differentiators in a Crowded Market
Since 2013, Trevian Capital has provided short-term, first-mortgage bridge loans secured by multifamily and commercial real estate nationwide. Trevian has originated and serviced approximately $575,000,000 in high-yield, senior-secured bridge loans across 68 transactions in 19 states. Trevian successfully held its first close of Trevian Capital Debt Fund, LP (the “Fund”) in March 2021. The open-ended investment vehicle provides investors with monthly income from low-volatility multifamily and commercial real estate debt investments, target net returns of 10%, and downside principal protection. Trevian anticipates holding a second close in June 2021.
Unlike many of its competitors who provide longer-term lower yielding bridge loans, Trevian is able to generate outsized risk-adjusted returns by focusing on the short-term/special situation market segment. In this segment, borrowers with shorter duration business plans are willing to pay increased pricing in exchange for a loan that affords them speed, certainty of execution, and flexibility. Borrowers come to Trevian with the following short-term needs:
-Time-constrained transactions (closings that need to occur in less than 30 days).
-Value-add real estate projects undergoing renovation and/or lease-up stabilization, typically where the business plan is two years or less.
-Construction-completion (finishing construction or renovation and providing time to either lease up and refinance or sell).
-Bridging the seasoning gap to a Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, or FHA refinance.
-Transitional or distressed sponsorship (credit issues, liquidity issues, prior defaults, partnership disputes, etc.) where the loan is adequately supported by the underlying value of the real estate, but the borrower needs more time to qualify for conventional financing.
-Short-term special situations that require creativity and flexibility not offered by conventional lenders.
Trevian’s significant deal volume of approximately 50 inbound bridge loan opportunities per week allows them to select only the most compelling opportunities yielding the best risk-adjusted returns, with a primary focus on multifamily properties, industrial, self-storage, medical office, and other commercial real estate assets that fit the Fund’s investment profile.
